GCA

SAW MY PCP YESTERDAY. WE TALKED ABOUT AND SHE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A VERY SERIOUS CONDITION. SHE SAID THAT DOCTOR'S WHO MISDIAGNOSED PATIENTS AND DID NOT GET THE RIGHT DIAGNOSIS THE PATIENT EITHER WENT BLIND OR THE PATIENT DIED.
SHE SAID IT WAS A DIBLATNG CONDITION WHICH IT HAS TAKEN A TOLL ON ME. I HAVE TO HAVE A CANE TO WALK WITH BECAUSE MY LEGS JUST GIVE OUT ON ME. I FEEL LIKE I AM BIG AS A HOUSE. THANK GOODNESS MY RHEUMATOLOGIST LOWERED MY STEROIDS TO 25mg NOW. IT HAS BEEN HARD AT TIMES BUT I HAVE IT AND I HAVE TO LEARN TO WORK WITH IT.  SO JUST KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS.
I AM STARTING PHYSICAL THERAPY NEXT WEEK. SO HOPEFULLY SHE SAID THAT I CAN GET SOME OF MY MOVEMENT BACK.
MIKE IS DOING GOOD. WORKING REAL HARD AND HELPING TO TAKE CARE OF ME. HE HAS BEEN SO GOOD TO ME.
HOPE EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING GOOD.
PRAY FOR AUNT VICKI WHO HAD 2 BACK SURGERIES
LOVE TO YOU ALL
